MEMPHIS. Octobe 15.-Judge II. j. Elicit,
who made the welcoming address to the
President here this morning, died on the
stand before the ceremoni,s were over.
The tragic incident occurred just AZ the
President closed his remarks in response to
the judges welcome. Though the day was
not uncomfortably warm, the spot in the
center OF Court Square where tie speakers

and Ju &c Elicit who stood for time
with his hat of as the President was speak

When Judge Elicit sank into chair in

followed. DR.. Bryant, assisted by Post

the two worked with the PROSTATE and un-

address, stood looking at the efforts that
were being made to revive the venerable

WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE annual
report of Caleb w West, Governor of Utah
Territory, estimates the population Of the
Territory at nearly zoe, 900, and the a.
sessed taxable valuation OF property 1t
$35 1866 6,665. The commercial affairs OF
the Territory are said to bein . prosperous
condition. Its agricultural products are
abundant and OF excellent grade, it's stock
interests dourishine and its mining outlook
very promising. The Governor recon-.
mends the repeal Of that part Of the alien
land law which relates to mines. To the
discussion OF tho subject OF
STATEHOOD FOR UTAH,
the Governor devotes considerable
space. In the course Of his remarks, be
says: ut will be observed that the
movement for Statehood was inaugurated
by leaders OF the Mormon people. Their
representatives alone took part In the
deliberations OF the convention and only
that portion OF the people OF the Territory
favoring to support it. When we remem-

placed them in opposition with the Federal
laws, the holding of which in the past had

the moral sense OF the country and Chris
tian civilization, before clothing them
